    Pretty sure they are releasing 5 port 10gbe switch soon as well?

    I still find it absurd that wired ethernet is only equal to, or barely ahead, of current wifi speeds.

    I was using gigabit TEN YEARS AGO. Why do I have to spend so much money on marginally faster speeds after such a long period of time??

    • Budju on 21/03/2021 - 19:51

      It isn't limited to those speeds, wired connections are still extremely faster the wireless. The pricing is just ridiculous.

    • Nom on 21/03/2021 - 20:38

      You don't need to spend much - ex-server 10GbE cards are cheap, and there's a 5 port Mikrotik switch to go with them.

      I found tplink is selling 5 port 2.5G switch SH1005 in China for $80, 8 ports for $90, for we are just being price gauged.

        price gauged

        Clearly, it doesn't measure up

        • petry on 21/03/2021 - 22:13

          gouge support is very australian these days - billionaires need the taxation

            @petry: Another post slagging Australia. Keep it up.

            • petry on 22/03/2021 - 00:24

              @RSmith: your support for the Liberal national coalition ongoing gifting of millions of dollars of taxpayer monies to billion dollar companies whilst refusing to spend enough on Australian national firefighting and cutting payments to the Australian disabled amongst others is duly noted.

              • RSmith on 22/03/2021 - 03:03

                @petry: Ok… So now you add liberal national coalition. Good shifting of the goalposts.

        In China they have 5-port 10gbe for $244.34 USD (~$315AUD)

    with NBN the way it is, does anyone actually need to "unlock the highest performance of your Multi-Gig bandwidth"

      Ah, one who is not cursed with the experience of a local NAS transfer I see

      • masuta on 21/03/2021 - 21:21

        I find that most NAS arrays are not able to fully leverage a 1gbps connection. I doubt this will give your transfers a significant boost.

        • Switchblade88 on 21/03/2021 - 21:36

          A crappy SATA HDD will fully leverage a gigabit connection. Are you using a RasPi or something even cheaper that limits your available throughput??

            @Switchblade88: Only using its cache will a SATA spinning disk eg 7200rpm saturate that kind of bandwidth. In reality with random reads/writes you won't get anything near that unless you build an appropriate array OR use SSD drives

            • Nom on 21/03/2021 - 23:45
              +1

              @Gebb: A modern large capacity SATA drive can easily manage 250MB/s when copying large files. Not only will they easily saturate a 1Gb connection, they'll just about fill a 2.5Gb connection too…

              Yes random reads and writes are many times slower, but that doesn't detract from the large file speeds !

              • Gebb on 22/03/2021 - 00:43

                @Nom: Admit it’s been a while since I looked at this can you direct me to some literature that supports these faster speeds?

                • Megahowler on 22/03/2021 - 07:18

                  @Gebb: Check any hard drive review of capacity over 2tb

                  A single 5400rpm drive can saturate a gigabit connection easily when transferring large files

            @Switchblade88: I find that in real world usage I can't reliably saturate gigabit links. My NAS has 12 drives in the array with 2 additional drives for parity. Mirrored SSDs for cache. Its on a dual Xeon E5-2680 V2 with 128gb of ram. Currently using quad intel gigabit NICs bonded on an enterasys C5G124-48 switch. With constant activity on the array, people reading and writing to the array simultaneously, the server writing and reading to the array etc I never see more that ~100MB/sec. If something is on the cache then sure, I can easily saturate the gigabit link, but stuff only sits on the cache for <24hrs before being auto-moved to the array. On my synology units I don't even get that. If you have some useful tips to get better consistent throughput then let me know.

            • Nom on 26/03/2021 - 23:59

              @masuta:

              With constant activity on the array, people reading and writing to the array simultaneously

              Hard drives can't do simultaneous things 👍

              Kick everyone else off, then copy a single large file to and from your NAS whilst the drives aren't thrashing at other tasks - you should easily see well over 100MB/s.
              I've got 10Gb between two Windows machines, and I can copy from HD to HD at about 250MB/s with zero tuning.

          I dunno, I have an nvme as my cache drive for my NAS. But even with an SSD I could saturate a 5gbe connection with the ~500MB/s write speeds of most SSDs.

          My actual nvme drive sits at around ~3500MB/s. Which is easily too much for 10gbe to handle, but 10gbe is as much as I’m willing to spend on right now!

          I’m sure I’m not the only one using a cache drive in their NAS setup nowadays.

          This is a rip off though imo, get the mikrotik router with 10gbe support for not much more ($210ish last I checked?) and second hand 10gbe nics off eBay as previously mentioned (under $50).

          • vovka on 22/03/2021 - 11:35

            @Yekul: According to this article https://au.pcmag.com/network-attached-storage/83183/synology…, even Asustor AS5304T with its 2.5Gbps network card can achieve only 98/96MBps speeds. What is the point to upgrade the switch if Synology 920+ can do 85/90MBps with 1Gbps network card.

            • Megahowler on 22/03/2021 - 13:33

              @vovka: Anyone looking at this kind of equipment more than likely owns a high end NAS..

              My Unraid server with SSD cache would well and truly saturate the bandwidth of a 2.5G switch

              That review also didn't state if the rest of their network equipment was 2.5G
